Still smiling from yesterday’s Azalea Sweep! 🌸
Our teams, volunteers, and staff had the best time spreading out across Wilmington to help clean and beautify our community! There’s nothing better than coming together for a shared purpose and making a visible impact in the places we love! 🫶
We’re so grateful for everyone who showed up, showed out, and made the day such a success. 💙
